TotW book 1 is more track oriented but book 2 is aimed more at the road rider.
Keith Code is the founder of the California Superbike school and has taught most of the top racers in the states over the last 40 odd years.

If I hear about that book any more I'm going to burn it on TV
Its fair to say that if you like that sort of read, fair enough read it. BUT, IMO you go out and learn yourself, fair to say if you need extra training go and book someone who can teach you,
Old chinese proverb
Show me and I'll remember, tell me and I'll forget.
Its ok to read, but in reality it don't show you nothing, now if you went to the guy and asked him what he was writing about, it would make more sense. A certain somebody of close friendship tried to give me and Peg an idea of this book....well you can't really sell the techniques in there to a combined riding age of about 27 years! or indeed convert them to reading it
Neither do I warm to the train of thought...go on a track day it'll teach you loads.
I've never been on a track nor does it interest me. Going round and round in a circle with a whole load of bikes barging about everywhere to be faster than each other is not my personal cuppa. Prefer to get some real world practise in.....cause I have a road bike, not a track bike!
